Black IV

The opening is a calculated contrast: sharp bergamot cutting through the dark, jammy depth of prune and blackcurrant. As the initial brightness fades, it settles into a powdery tension between clean musk and a grounding base of sandalwood. Leather provides a dry, architectural spine, while a whisper of vanilla rounds the edges, preventing the woody notes from turning harsh. It sits close to the skin with a quiet persistence, behaving more like a tailored second layer than a trailing cloud—a balanced, nuanced scent that maintains its composure from day into the cooler evening hours.
